Pailwaan to have theatrical release in Hindi?

It looks like Sudeep starrer Pailwaan is all set to go the KGF way. The makers are planning to release the film in Hindi theatrically. The original plan was to not to have a theatrical release in Hindi, like most of the other southern language films. They had planned to release the Hindi version on Youtube and in satellite medium.

But looking at the hype about the teaser all over India, the makers are now planning to release the film in theatres in Hindi as well. Three distribution houses are in contact with Pailwaan team for the Hindi theatrical release. An official announcement will be made soon.

However, the distribution companies do not want to release the film in Marathi, Bhojpuri, Bengali and Punjabi as it would eat into their business. Marathi films, as per law, are required to get prime slots in multiplexes in Maharashtra. The Hindi distributors do not want another language version of Pailwaan to compete with the Hindi version.

The film also stars Suniel Shetty in pivotal roles and is scheduled to release on August 8.
